Woah man, that was brutal. They should take a good long look in the mirror when they spout horse # like this though:

He appears to lack basic knowledge about and
belief in the U.S. Constitution, U.S. laws, and U.S. institutions,
including religious tolerance, freedom of the press, and an independent
judiciary.

Half that list was responsible for infringing on what they just stated he would be no good at.

The good 'ole boys club.......are about to have their little controlled reality turned upside down and they're scared. They're really are scared.
The people have been screaming for a third party, an outsider, a business NOT as usual POTUS and they just may get their way while the business as
usual cronies are shaking in fear. They really are afraid, their frenzy is growing and they are becoming frantic in their effort to persuade the
public to go with what they know. I wouldn't be surprised to see some of them begin foaming at the mouth, spitting their words out of their enlarged
red faces with veins popping out. Same 'ole same 'ole needs to go. It's time for a fresh look with new ideas. Which by the way, is why many voted
for Obama. Voting for Hillary is two steps backward. She's a liar, will say ANYTHING to get elected and has a proven track record of accomplishing
very little except enriching her own private fund. A snake in the grass is not what we need.

As was pointed out, many on that list were responsible for the Patriot Act and the full blown takeover by DHS of some very crucial departments
regarding national security. I suspect they fear the chickens are coming home to roost.

Time to kill the Patriot Act, axe DHS and make their agencies independent again. Not only that, some of those people in key security positions also
have Dual citizenship with Israel, who has been strangely quiet this season.

Those signing the letter include former Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte, former NSA and CIA Director Michael Hayden and former
Homeland Security Security secretaries Michael Chertoff and Tom Ridge.

The Times notes that some prominent Republican national security officials did not sign the letter, including former secretaries of state Henry
Kissinger, George Shultz, James Baker, Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice.

Well , what an interesting Partial l List .

They should be afraid, not by your precious "anti-establishment" candidate but because he's mentally unstable and a pathological liar.

“In American history, we’ve never had a major presidential candidate who fabricated facts with the regularity of Donald Trump,” said Douglas
Brinkley, a history professor at Rice University. “He just simply makes up things.”

He added: “There’s something psychologically warped with someone who sees no distinction between facts and fiction at all. The sign of crazy is
when someone believes his own bull#. And he believes his own B.S.: Everything he says is true because he said it.”

US Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s erratic stance on nuclear weapons has raised the alarm among American nuclear experts, according
to a report.

Trump further astounded Republican and Democratic experts this week, after it was revealed by the MSNBC that he asked officials at a national security
meeting to explain why the US could not use its nuclear weapons.

“This is the most dangerous thing that he has said, among many dangerous and stupid things,” Mark Fitzpatrick, a US State Department veteran who
worked on nonproliferation issues for 26 years, told The Hill.

Trump lacks good judgment and is ignorant of basic things a president should be aware of. That's why these people are weary of him.

has no idea what is going on in Ukraine, wants to give Crimea to Russia not even something China thinks is a good idea

I don't mean to derail the thread.
But this statement needs to be challenged. Crimea voted out of Ukraine!
Putin then helped facilitate that.
Look it up!
Actually I'll help... Seeing as you most likely won't take the energy to do it.

The official result from the Autonomous Republic of Crimea was a 96.77 percent vote for integration of the region into the Russian Federation with
an 83.1 percent voter turnout.

I don't think Trump can withstand this mutiny by his own party. Essentially now he is running a grassroots campaign; still listed as a Republican but
he should have run as a 3rd party from the beginning. Now its to late.

You do not need an expert to tell you this. The guy thinks Iran funds ISIS, has no idea what is going on in Ukraine, wants to give Crimea to Russia
not even something China thinks is a good idea, is not sure who the terrorist are or where they are at and had such thin skin other nations be able
rattle or manipulate him anytime they want sending him off on crazy town rants making crazy town choices. No surprise the world has such a low
opinion of him.

Frankly I could care less what the worlds "opinion" of the US is....we walked on the moon and split the atom...

And we didn't need affirmation from the world to accomplish the impossible...

So spare me your liberal need to please the despotic realms of the lesser nation-states of this good earth...

America is the apex civilization on earth and the living manifestation of the high west's sensibilities and its embracing of science and intellectual
enlightenment...

I have no need to seek approval from Stone Age societies who would throw my homosexual sibling from a building or see my physician wife subjugated to
my masculine rule…

I understand the core of your liberal dogma drives you to seek the approval of Third World despotic Stone Age cultures but forgive me if I tap the
brakes on seeking their approval.

Incredible news, as I HAVE suspected all along: " Eric S. Edelman, who served as Vice President Dick Cheney’s national security adviser"
LET the reptiles join each other it's NOT like conspiracists couldn't tell anyway.

negative, 3rd party will still lose this election. By staying on the Republicans he is guaranteed a chance. 3rd party will be a lost cause until 2020.
Like I said, the GOP thought they were being cute, and then Trump beat them at their own game. Now they got to live with the fact that he not just
going to go the same way Bernie sold out.

Either you play the DC game, or you don't play.....

If you’re somebody with some moral sense or intelligence--two things Trump doesn’t have--you may have a chance at being truly anti-Washington.

The country would be delighted to have a REAL maverick non Washington candidate who knew the issues....Not a posturing ignoramus and bigot like
Trump.

The exposure has finally gotten to Trump. Trump is exposed. The publicity has exposed him

Obama tried it with society WE are hitting the oligarchs in our party which IS WHY the REAL TEA PARTY exists.
THEY stopped listening WE ARE attacking them,"damn the torpedoes" and all associated verbage. Hillary will NEVER sway that,SHE'S PART of all that.
AS to that PC stuff SOME is ligit I KNOW that.
Some is BULL and YOU know THAT.
NOW lets ALL make sure they don't go all "McCarthy" on the people,next, if Trump DOES win,PLAN AHEAD folks...

Of course he will...and is putting us all at the brink of doomsday. Outspoken is fine..but the other nutcase leaders around the world with a few
tricks up their sleeves will get pissed and the missiles, emps and bio-bombs will fly.

And all because of his lack of "tact" and diplomacy. Be president. I dont care. Just learn how to speak to the rest of the world....before you cant
anymore...because of some stupid thing you thought was ok to say.

Remember kids...whoever gets in...in any election...any of them...holds the peace of most of the known world in their hands...and he needs to quit
waving them around so much

Evan McMullin, the former CIA agent who announced today that he is running for president, had harsh words for both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump,
telling ABC News he believes both are "woefully unfit for the responsibilities they seek." But he reserved particular ire for Trump, calling him
"inhuman," and an "authoritarian" who "does not care about anyone but himself." McMullin, a Republican, previously worked for the House Republican
Conference and considers himself a true conservative. B...

WHY did you say THIS that way,attempting to double reinforce an opinionated statement as a fact?

"The exposure has finally gotten to Trump. Trump is exposed. The publicity has exposed him"
It isn't in his history of personal contact habitually like it is in Hillary's
HE HAS gone out of his way to do things for others OUTSIDE his nominal activities.
It simply doesn't exist outside of this narrative on a level I would give a crap about,compared to people who would KNOW him and would say so.
Words in POLITICS?
Dust in the wind.

When you've got economists telling you his "plan' will cause us to go into recession, and the top security people telling us he will be placing the
country at risk, You need to listen. Maybe they know something you don't.

Trump has the credentials to be the CEO of a construction company, or direct acquisitions for properties for golf courses.

He seems to have been a good father.

None of that qualifies him for the Presidency, and as far as I can tell, that's all he's got.
